Coffee Exchange Rivonia

This was a really good experience!! I'd definitely recommend it. The aesthetic is modern and cosy and it's a nice atmosphere. The coffee is some of the best I've ever had and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is also a good selection of food to eat.

Now, this is definitely a Coffee we won't Exchange, no sirree.

In a little old street in Parkmore you enter a cozy coffee café, with wooden decor and warm lights inviting you to venture in deeper. It was quite odd that they were completely empty on a Sunday morning at 11 am, which made us wonder if they would be worth it. It took a few seconds, but before we knew it, the place was packed and the waiter/barista/teller had his hands full running around getting to everyone.

This is the promised land of coffee. Oh... My... Goodness... This has got to be the best coffee, we have ever had. Pure indulgence, smooth and perfectly extracted. Just a cup of love, a cup of life. This is what real and proper coffee is all about.

We decided we wanted to grab brunch. So we grabbed an Old English Breakfast, 2 fried eggs, 3 rashers of bacon, beef sausage, grilled tomato, mushroom, and hashbrown. The hashbrown was a letdown, it kind of tasted as if it was a bit underdone, but everything else is what makes a great breakfast, especially those mushrooms, oh my golly. With that, we also went for The Banting, 2 poached eggs, grilled halloumi, sliced avocado and basil cherry tomatoes. This was sooo yummy, every ingredient was fresh and vibrant with poached eggs prepared the way they are meant to be.

Even though there seemed to be only one waiter/barista/teller, everything ran smoothly. Not only did he go to each table to get their order, go back to make coffee and bring drinks and food, he did it all in a timely manner. Oh yeah, he also went to everyone when they needed to pay, as well as help people that just walked in that wanted to get a coffee to go. This guy was playing all the positions in one match.

For two people that got delicious breakfast with 2 cups of coffee, each, for about R200, this place is definitely worth every penny.

TTT recommends you come here on a relaxed Sunday morning, and just grab a cup of coffee and enjoy it.

The Coffee Exchange gets a 'Fist Bump' from Two Tasty Tummies

BEST coffee in Joburg.

Small little cafe with staff ready to help. They have a few eating options and they are all very tasty but the that makes this place absolutely AMAZING is the coffee.

Can never get enough of their coffee. They really know how to make a proper coffee.

I love the coffee here, but I the tramezzini is the best one I've eaten. I suggest the spinach and feta. The tramezzini bread is light and slightly crispy. Triple fried chips are great. What it lacks in views, it makes up for in friendly service
